Yeah probably, but Discover wasn’t really great with flatpaks either

Instead, every beginner friendly distro has its own flavour of software centre

And they generally run like dogshit, unfortunately. Bazar on Bazzite is the only one I’ve found so far that doesn’t have me run for the terminal immediately

This is hilarious

Oh FFS stop designing things I can and want to build

My smart switches have zero downtime. If I attack my server with an hatchet I lose smart functionality but pressing the switch still works, just like yours.

It doesn’t take much to avoid the bullshit devices.

Yeah sure but it’s the usual conundrum: spend more upfront or spend more on the long run? I use my laptops A LOT, they wear out relatively quickly, so I gave up on cheap ones years ago, I hope that the repairability will give me better value on the long run.

Everyone’s got their own priorities of course, I have multiple USB chargers that are better than anything that may come from the manufacturer, so having one in the box doesn’t really make a difference, that may be different for others. I even bought mine without an SSD, I took it off my previous (dead) laptop.

Look, I’m sorry you got invested in Youtube channels and now feel betrayed, but that’s something everyone else already understood: don’t blindly trust anyone or any organisation, they can be bought, and will when it’s advantageous to do so.

In the meantime, don’t shit on people’s work without a good reason, or you’re doing the work for those who mean to control you.

I saw nothing about kurzgesagt

I don’t think they bother with fine print anymore

I mean, it’s a tiling wm, of course they’re edgelords

Yeah sure so you’ve destroyed your car, stopped buying fuel, gave up sigarettes, stopped buying stuff from Amazon, gave up the supermarket, single use plastics, gave up Windows and let’s be honest, any other computer manufacturer aside from super niche ones? Because I guarantee you that the money you spend in that stuff is magnitudes more damaging than whatever tiny bit of a framework computer’s value is going towards these two developers, let alone the fraction that they may actually invest in nefarious deeds.

People need to learn to pick their battles.

I bought one because I’m tired of having to scour ebay or AliExpress for replacement parts for my laptops.

I think people too often try to spend the minimum possible amount of money for a certain set of specs and then forget about build quality, support and so on.

You wrote all that shit and forgot that accusations like that need proof.

Oh no, those poor innocent investment bankers

Hmmm, luckily I haven’t had issues so far, but I’m using the AIO docker container

Right, forgot about the contacts, those are on Nextcloud as well. What’s the advantage of radicale over NC?

I still run the play store, but I get what I can from F-Droid. I’m not familiar with the MS authentication app, but I use Ente Auth, idk if that’s comparable.

I’m at the difficult stage of contemplating how to decom my gmail email, and the Google account itself.

I have a couple of domains at OVH, and for the last few years I’ve been using email aliases when making accounts, all redirecting to my Gmail. The other day I had enough, created a mailbox on one of the domains, changed all aliases to this new address, and installed Thunderbird mobile. So far it’s been going well.
The webmail runs roundcube, which is usable but not great. The biggest problem I’ve had is the inability to create automatic filters.

Edit: forgot about the calendar, I’ve moved that to my Nextcloud instance

I use them to extend my network from my 3rd story apartment to my garage. Wireless doesn’t reach, pulling a cable would be very difficult and expensive.

I mean, I sure love connections and encryption, but it doesn’t have that effect on me

The difference in fan speed is always impressive
